Abstract
This study focuses on the complex process of translating proper nouns, particularly in the setting of fantasy fiction, utilising J.R.R. Tolkien's famed book, The Hobbit, as a case study. J.R.R. Tolkien, known for his rigorous worldbuilding and linguistic expertise, constructed the rich and fascinating world of The Hobbit. His invented proper nouns, such as Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, and the Misty Mountains, are not just arbitrary designations, but important components of his fictitious world. The study digs into the various elements of fantasy fiction that influence translation and examines the translation methods used in Maras’s translation of The Hobbit. This study sheds light on the difficulty of translating Tolkien’s imaginative universe into Croatian language, providing useful insights into the art and theory of literary translation.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj je rad usmjeren na složeni proces prevođenja vlastitih imenica, osobito u kontekstu fantastične fikcije, koristeći slavnu knjigu J.R.R.Tolkiena, Hobit, kao predmet analize. J.R.R. Tolkien, poznat po svojoj rigoroznoj gradnji svjetova i lingvističkoj stručnosti, stvorio je bogat i fascinantan svijet Hobit-a. Vlastite imenice koje je osmislio, kao što su Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf i Misty Mountains, nisu samo proizvoljni nazivi, već su i bitni sastavni dijelovi njegova fiktivnog svijeta. Istraživački se dio rada bavi različitim elementima fantastične fikcije koji utječu na prijevod i proučava metode prevođenja korištenih Marasovom prijevodu Hobit-a. Ovaj rad pojašnjava poteškoće prevođenja Tolkienova maštovitog svemira na hrvatski jezik te pruža korisne uvide u umjetnost i teoriju književnog prevođenja.
